JEWELRY AND SMALL STUFF:

You know how it stinks  to have jewelry get tangled up? For a couple bucks at Wal-Mart (and a little spare time, but it’s worth it)…there are jewelry baggies.

These also come in nice if you have furniture with adjustable shelving (usually particle board)….place the shelve support thingies (for a lack of better term) or screws into a baggie, attach it to the item or label as to which item it goes with.

ELECTRONICS:

if you won’t remember which cord goes to which component…
A small piece of masking tape. Or some colored post it notes (with extra tape to secure it) A goes to A….B goes to B….Line In on A goes out Line Out on B…..
